London, United Kingdom – 10 December 2025 — HISSCO is pleased to announce the formal appointment of KGT as its Exclusive Partner for East Africa, strengthening delivery footprint and enabling an expanded screening capability across one of the continent’s most strategically important security markets.

KGT has long been recognised as East Africa’s foremost security integrator, with an established record of delivering multi-million dollar screening programmes across Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and neighbouring regional hubs. Their capabilities include airport checkpoint upgrades, hold-baggage deployment, conventional system delivery and high-energy cargo systems integration—securing their reputation as the region’s most trusted and technically proficient entity.

This partnership combines HISSCO’s EVO2 Platform, Advanced Screening Technologies, High-Energy Cargo Systems and Hold Baggage Solutions with KGT’s regional command, technical capacity and execution strength. Together, both organisations introduce a streamlined and scalable screening framework able to support airport operations, cargo screening networks, border control environments and critical infrastructure programmes with unified oversight and accelerated deployment capability.

As East African airports, ports and land borders continue to expand throughput capacity and modernise screening environments, the alliance delivers a clear pathway to uplift technology standards across government, aviation and commercial sectors. Future terminal expansions, cargo corridors and security infrastructure investments now benefit from a singular screening platform capable of integrating conventional, checkpoint, HBS and high-energy requirements.

Commenting on the appointment, Andrew Hudson, Group President of HISSCO, stated:
“KGT’s delivery record across multi-million-dollar screening programmes positions them as a giant in the East African market and now, proudly a trusted exclusive partner to HISSCO. When aligned with the EVO2 Platform, our advanced screening portfolio, high-energy cargo capability and hold-baggage solutions, this partnership represents a decisive advancement in regional screening standards. We are pleased to bring to the market a unified, technically aligned platform able to support high-volume security environments with consistency, operational depth and long-term stability.”

With this appointment, HISSCO and KGT establish a singular integrated presence in East Africa—delivering modernised screening performance, strengthened lifecycle support and reinforced operational continuity across aviation, cargo and public-sector security environments. The alliance introduces a coordinated execution model that supports both current and future requirements.
